@0xabad1dea A quibble: floating point numbers give exact values for addition, multiplication and subtraction involving integers if the results aren't too large.
In 32-bit floating point, you can exactly represent all integers up to 16,777,217.
> You should never, ever use floats for things like money
You can't do things like compound interest and mortgage payments with integer arithmetic! 😁
I have a relevant story here that you might find amusing.
